I wrote 2000 words on this again without trying hard. Shoot, I have the story blocked out now. Weird.
George was always surprised just how much beef tasted like… well, the word that he had for it was ‘beef,’ because this body he was in couldn’t properly pronounce the language of Home. It was hard to even think in it, because there were scent cues that human noses couldn’t pick up. But from what he remembered, this was a lot like the ‘beef’ he used to eat, in his old body.
Human beings ate it a lot rarer than he had been used to, though. Although, after three years on a five-year Tour, George was starting to see their point. He might try real beef that way, when he went back Home.
So are they watching us, or did they regress the society they found after the end?
